You have a great, fast script, but the videos have not sound.
Video and Audio file in Reddit are 2 different files I want to download both and then will put them together with moviepy .

Video file in Reddit looks like. DASH_720.mp4

Audio for this file is DASH_audio.mp4

with links:

https://v.redd.it/txizu3xq030a1/DASH_720.mp4

https://v.redd.it/txizu3xq030a1/DASH_audio.mp4

I download with limits, if it possible to download not just from new posts, for example from hot posts.
Thank you!
You did a great job.

I not sure if you know that the PushShift API did update and now the script is not working properly, at least in my machine.

Thanks for this great utility, it makes archiving a lot easier.

However, I am currently trying to archive a subreddit, but somehow the script keeps crashing on one specific post:

• Subreddit: r/scathach
• Post number is 297 according to the progress bar

Don't really know how to go on from here, as I am unsure what exactly causes this error. One thing could be (from the error paths) that the venv and my normal python installation interfere, but I think that's unlikely. The same issue also occurs in a venv on C
